After riding three homers to a 5-1 victory against No. 11 Tennessee on Friday night, the No. 1 LSU softball team earned its first series victory in program history at Tennessee with a 7-4 win against the Lady Volunteers on Saturday afternoon. 
The Tigers’ (38-4, 11-3 Southeastern Conference) lineup rolled by scoring in a variety of ways. Junior shortstop Bianka Bell and sophomore second baseman Constance Quinn continued the bombard Tennessee’s (29-11, 7-7 SEC) rotation with long balls, hitting the Tigers’ fourth and fifth homers of the series in Game 2. 
Quinn got the Tigers on the board in the top of the second with a RBI single. 
In the third, junior shortstop Bianka Bell hit a solo shot off the scoreboard in left field for her 13th homer of the season.
After junior third baseman Jenna Kreamer led off the fourth inning with a bunt single, Quinn blasted a two-run bomb over the center field wall and extended the Tigers’ lead to 4-0. 
Tennessee rallied in the bottom of the fourth, scoring two runs on two hits while cutting LSU’s lead to only two runs.
The Tigers answered in the fifth inning not with power-hitting, but by taking advantage of mistakes by Tennessee and the Lady Vols’ junior pitcher Gretchen Aucoin (9-2).
After Aucoin gave up back-to-back walks to start the inning, junior first baseman Sandra Simmons singled, and LSU scored two runs on a throwing error. 
Kreamer added another run with a sacrifice fly to drive in junior designated player Kellsi Kloss to bring LSU’s lead to 6-2. 
Simmons capped off the Tigers’ scoring by stealing home later in the inning.
Tennessee tallied two more runs, including a solo homer by sophomore catcher Annie Aldrete in the fifth. But the Lady Vols couldn’t complete the comeback against sophomore reliever Kelsee Selman, who earned her eight victory of the season. 
After freshman starting-pitcher Allie Walljasper (10-2) tallied her second error of the game and allowed her fifth hit of the game in the fourth inning, LSU coach Beth Torina went to Selman. 
Although she allowed two earned runs, Selman finished with two strikeouts and allowed only one walk and three hits in 3 1/3 innings pitched.
